However will you cope!....

I’m already attracting the wrong sort.

The ‘sale nutter’ that forces conversations with strangers has already accosted me!

Good point.

It's still disappointing, though. It was one of those catalogues that read well but delivered little

A couple of weeks ago we noticed we had a heavy crop of strawberries coming along.

However the other half could not understand why none were ripening.

This morning we found out why!

Much as the kids like seeing them, this is the last straw (berry)

Grrrr



Tonight the strawberry patch is enclosed in fine mesh chicken wire. Onn Monday it will be a trip to the sports shop for some appropriate pellets!!

Some good eating there

Forgive me WGYG it has been two years since my last confession...

That in itself shows what a placid easy going chap I am

Here’s a question, why is it people with 400 acres of mixed farmland, with a dairy and beef herd plus replacements be so much easier to please/accommodate and work for and also be thankful for good service/work and pushing on when necessary than those with 6 cows and a pony with 8 acres split over 5 fields?

got the gears truly ground this week,
on wed 2 coppers came out to inspect a cctv cam i have looking at a gateway of mine,, bear in mind that any visit to here has to involve the armed response team
due to me being of such a dangerous character. so there would have been considerable planning beforehand.
Fri, when we couldent get through the village due to a car badly parked, the response was tooo busy
ok we can put hay harvest off till another day !!!

The National Express coach service from Victoria to Ringwood on a Friday afternoon.
I always say I'll learn my lesson , but then forget and think "Oh, what an adventure- and it's only £15!"
I couldn't stop singing "The song" in my head and it just about summed it up. The growling old dear who wouldn't smile, the snotty kids bouncing around shouting "Are we there yet?" every 15 seconds in the seat behind, suspicious looking characters eating incredibly spicy food in front, Sharon and Tracy talking incessantly as loud as possible for 3 hours about their "friend" in accounts, and teenagers with micro headphones blasting out a tinny wrap beat.
3 and half hours and I never thought I'd say it, but our little town looked like the best place on earth when we finally emerged out of the traffic jams and into the fresh air.

Regional railways are a bit like that here. There is always the table halfway down the carriage with tins on the table and the all day drinker psycho nutters who insist on trying to draw people in to their predictable conversations and make them listen to their crass jokes. And you'd better laugh if you value your life. I once sat outside Scunthorpe for three hours with such a crowd behind a derailed coal train. I was well ready for jumping down onto the tracks and heading off cross country.

Better off sat in a traffic jam.

1) Barclays helpline (?) 2) Barclays helpline 3) Barclays helpline !!!!! You might gather from the foregoing that Barclays what is laughingly referred to as a helpline , is peeing me off -- big time . I have been trying to re arrange my accounts , and needed to remove a barclaycard from a joint account , and re apply for a new one in my single name . Simples you might thing -- NOT SO . I have spoken at length to their helpline in Pakladeshia, 4 yes four times twice taking more than 30 minutes , and still no nearer . They assure me that the new card is up and running and that all it needs is verification , I go on line with their app and follow the instructions until I get to the final bit , then -- you need to contact our helpine on 0333 --- . for the fourth time . And that's just the helpline . Barclays themselves are no better . I recently lost my OH . I dutifully sent the certified death certificate to their bereavement address and got a code to attach to any correspondence , that they would know the circumstances . Next thing I get a new debit card in her name . Quite inexcusable I think . I returned the card , recorded delivery with a snotty letter pointing out their shortcomings . Result nothing , nada ,zilch , not even a Kiss My Ass. I'm rapidly losing the will to live now !

Sorry to hear of your loss @Av Gorritt There is enough to cope with after a bereavement as it is without some idiots causing you more upset.

Lost my father the past year and Santander had an idiot that gave instructions to my mother that would have created all kinds of havoc in tax and probate. I know how crap this can be - why don't they, and why don't they sort it out?
Their behaviour is similar to saying to someone, "yes Glyphosate is great as a T2 spray"

I do NOT understand how they put the stupid people on this desk, they have just lost a customer, surely their efforts should be on not losing anymore - which they did.

Sorry I needed to get that off my chest. I didn't write a letter when I closed my account - I may never do [shame on me] but I simply won't bank with them again.

Sorry for you @Av Gorritt I know it's sh!t now, but it does get better but it takes time.
